[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I was just 6 when we had the riots. I remember being evacuated from our home because they thought that rioters would come to our area in boats.

I remember driving down I-94 to my grandparents in Ann Arbor and seeing all the tanks and National Guard rolling up the highway. The sky was full of smoke.

It deeply effected me for years.

We lived in Berkley just two blocks up from Woodward. People in our neighborhood were scared that the rioters would come sweeping down Woodward and burn us out.

I lived in a cop neighborhood and I remember a lot of the guys on out block, sitting in lawnchairs or on thier porches, armed with shot-guns and rifles and listening to their transistor radios to keep track of what was happening

You could smell the burning for miles.
